Show Notes

“Things as they are, are changed on the blue guitar.”

 

The Hollywood Film Composers Series 

Presented by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors

 

Hall of Fame songwriter and Six-time GRAMMY® winner, Hall of Fame songwriter, and producer Glen Ballard shares insights into his illustrious career, discussing his roots in Natchez, Mississippi, the art of songwriting, and his collaborations with iconic artists like Alanis Morissette and the Dave Matthews Band. He reflects on the creative process, the importance of daily discipline in writing, and the challenges of navigating the music industry. Ballard also touches on his current projects, including Broadway adaptations and new music, emphasizing the significance of live performance in today's music landscape.

 

Now, Ballard’s attention keeps tilting toward the stage. Live presentation, he believes, is where music is headed—real voices, real risk, no digital buffer. It’s the same idea he’s carried from Natchez to Hollywood to Broadway: show up, protect the spark, and let the song tell the truth.
